I came accross 7 actual citations in a 300 word paragraph today (text used
under GFDL from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johns_Hopkins) :

Overall, Johns Hopkins was an abolitionist
[10]<http://www.jhu.edu/~gazette/aprjun95/may2295/22johns.html>,
who was a child participant when his parents emancipated the able-bodied
slaves of the family in 1807
[11]<http://www.library.jhu.edu/collections/specialcollections/archives/jacob.html>,
who worked with other abolitionists such as Myrtilla
Miner<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrtilla_Miner>
[12]<http://www.britannica.com/blackhistory/print?articleId=125877&fullArticle=true&tocId=9125877>and
Henry Ward Beecher <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ward_Beecher>
[13]<http://www.britannica.com/blackhistory/article-9125877>before
the Civil War and who supported Abraham
Lincoln<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln>
[14]<http://lcweb2.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/r?ammem/AMALL:@field%28DOCID+@lit%28d1927200%29%29>and
the Union during the war. After the war, he was a Reconstruction actor who
provided instructions in the above mentioned documents that his philanthropy
should be used in ways that were often opposed to the racial practices that
were beginning to emerge during the American
Reconstruction<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction>period
[15]<http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information_about_hopkins/about_jhu/chronology/index.cfm>,
and later even in the posthumously constructed and founded institutions that
would carry his
name.[16]<http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information_about_hopkins/about_jhu/chronology/index.cfm>

A vandal buster had reverted it as vandalism. The poor guy who had sourced
it was livid.
